"You Have No Peace" — the Verdict Repeated and Sealed
The evil spirits that come from the dead giants will go on causing harm without restraint until the final judgment. God's message to the Watchers is repeated and made final: they revealed heavenly mysteries they should have kept, taught them to women, and through that knowledge much evil has spread on the earth. They are told plainly: "you have no peace."
